Question - what's easier (and more beneficial) to learn to make sigs on, gimp or Photoshop?

 

[FoCus]

A lot of people argue about that. People say gimp is basically like photoshop but free. I personally like PS better than gimp because for me its easier to use. I also think PS has more features than gimp, but i didnt use gimp that much to know what there was so yea...

 

[SYN Last Laugh]

Alright, thanks. I know about as much at making sigs, as I do about knowing how to fly. So, I'm trying to decide which program to start with before I start learning. I already own photoshop, so I guess I'll start with that one. Also, looking for a "mentor" of sorts, so if anyone is looking for an "apprentice" let me know =P

 

[FoCus]

You should just look up tutorials. they're everywhere

 

[SYN Last Laugh]

Yeah, that's what I've been doing most of the night. Made a bookmark folder, and bookmarked a page I found on here, as well as some thorough youtube tutorials.

photoshop gimp is k-mart grade just lame if you want to be good at this stuff get photoshop and spend alot of time doing tutorials ALOT beware though there is a lot of posers out there that make crappy tutorials so get cnc on your work and learn the rules of art composition color blending etc

The more you do the more you learn, and if you really take the time to learn you will improve very fast.

some tutorial sites --

http://www.guildinn.com/forum/tutorials-resources-show-off/

http://www.sigtutorials.com/tutorials/basics

and you can always search "signature tutorials" @ deviantart.com but be careful some are set up for gimp instead of photoshop.

 

[SYN Last Laugh]

Alright, I will look into all that. Thank you guys.

If anyone wants,i have like 100 gigs worth of different brushes and effect modifiers for photoshop,i could create a torrent or multiple mediafire links for people to get them.

I did graphic design course's in school so i have alot of stuff from doing that

 

[Snyder GFX]

post it in the resource section - i would do files instead of torrents alot of people dont use them i dont even use torrents anymore

You take it and wrap it in HTML code..

Go advanced and click the <> button and that will make this appear

[html]

once you see the [html]

all you have to do is insert the IMG code in the middle of HTML like so
